Complementary Feeding: Building the Foundation for Lifelong Health

Complementary Feeding (CF) marks a critical transition in infancy when breast milk alone no longer meets a baby’s growing nutritional needs. This stage not only bridges important nutrient gaps but also plays a central role in shaping eating behaviors, food preferences, and immune development.
